Only a few weeks after claiming in an exclusive interview saying she is "not racist," Sharon Osbourne is facing accusations that she is racist because she wants her $900,000 donation to Black Lives Matter refunded.

Apparently defending Kanye West's "white lives matter" controversy, the British television personality said to TMZ on Wednesday, "I don't get why white lives don't matter?"

Sharon Osbourne Demands Refund for 'Black Lives Matter' Donation

Sharon Osbourne, also gave the impression that she agreed with Kanye West's claim that the Black Lives Matter movement was a scam. Her remarks come as the celebrity is getting back on her feet after being publicly fired due to a racism scandal on 'The Talk.'

Osbourne was questioned by TMZ about the Kanye West scandal dominating the news this week while out shopping in Beverly Hills. Ye is in hot water once more after showing up to his Yeezy fashion show in Paris wearing a "white lives matter" shirt and dressing his models in the garments. He also denounced the Black Lives Matter movement as a fraud and attacked it.

The mogul has gotten into arguments with everyone from Gigi Hadid to the Kardashians to a well-known Vogue editor over his position, which is reminiscent of the time in 2018 when he termed slavery a choice.

Per Daily Mail, Osbourne acknowledged that she was unaware of the specifics of the ongoing crisis, but she was conversant enough to respond when asked about West's claim that BLM was a fraud.

Unsurprisingly, Sharon Osbourne, who has a strong anti-cancellation stance, stated that she did not believe Kanye West should be dropped due to his remarks. Osbourne is currently working through her own cancellation due to racial claims.

Kanye West And Gigi Hadid Dispute

Ye's disputes appear to be escalating as a result of his "white lives matter" publicity stunt. On Thursday, West launched another ferocious tirade on Gigi Hadid, calling her a "privileged Karen and a zombie." The supermodel, 25, and the rapper, 45, got into a verbal altercation this week when she defended Gabriella Karefa-Johnson, a contributing editor to Vogue who West was accused of 'bullying' online.

In the most recent argument, West reacted angrily as he posted a screenshot of Gigi's Instagram comment, in which she complained that the rapper did not treat 'V' like a friend. Although more context was not given, it looked that she was alluding to the late fashion designer Virgil Abloh after Kanye West came under fire for making references to him in his rants.

West has claimed time and time again that his estranged wife Kim Kardashian "kidnapped" his daughter Chicago in January of this year when she hosted the child a private birthday party and wouldn't tell him where it was.

Per Mirror, Adidas confirmed that they are reconsidering their partnership with the musician in a statement following the Kanye West scandal. "Adidas has always been about creativity, innovation, and supporting athletes and artists to achieve their vision," they stated.

Sharon Osbourne responded to the news of Adidas' decision by saying, "They won't cut their ties, they make too much money. He won't be removed by them." When she backed TV anchor Piers Morgan from criticism after Meghan Markle, the wife of Prince Harry, accused the British royal family of racism, Osbourne angered several in the media last year.

Because of this, Morgan and Osbourne were both widely seen as bigots, but both have persisted in their professions. Osbourne, who holds dual citizenship with the UK and the US, celebrated her 40 years marriage to her husband Ozzy, as per The Blaze.
